EVALUATION We were able to reproduce this issue in 7u4, but this got fixed in 7u6. The 7u6 EA (early access) can be found at http://jdk7.java.net/download.html. Once the the development and testing is completed 7u6 and future releases can be found at java.com and http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

EVALUATION The pogo game loads fine outside of company's network. It works with 7u6 ea b10 with IE8 and FF12.

EVALUATION I've tried JRE 6u32, 7, and 7u4 and got the same results. Game was at the "loading..." stage. See attached screen shot. I don't think this is a regression in 7u4. Does the game require an account to play? Does it work behind company's proxy?
